Vision doesn't make "sense," either. Other than the fact that Vin seems inexplicably to like the character enough to paste him on his FB page.

I see Ultron being introduced as an AI, hell, maybe he already exists? and plays a part in avengers 2 as an AI, if it's more earth related. maybe pym shows up at some point, and at some point, the avengers have to fight ultron in vision's body, before he somehow get's turned good to help the avengers fight off thanos..and ultron get's an after credit scene of him building his body, and we learn more about him in A2?

I feel like if Diesel is in talks, it will be for a role in A2...so I'm just tryin to think of how vision would fall into avengers 2...

Apparently Vin Diesel has written on his Facebook that he'll be at Hall H at SDCC in 2 weeks.

He's got Riddick coming out later this year and F&F7 next summer, so he may be there for one or both of those.

It’s something that’s easy to take for granted, growing up in the United States as a white male, that my cinematic heroes look like me...It’s something that over the course of these ten years, having a certain amount of power over what type of movies are made and what type of actors we hire, I want everybody to have that feeling. We don’t take it for granted that people want to see themselves reflected in our heroes and our characters.

In a recent interview with The Howard Stern Show, Alec Baldwin revealed that he passed up a major role.

"I have [been offered a role in a superhero movie], but I won't mention which one," Baldwin said in the interview. "I don't want to undo somebody because they hired someone else to do it. But they asked me to play a villain in one of these Marvel Comics movies."

While he didn't name the film, Marvel movies that hit theaters this summer include "Iron Man 3," "The Wolverine," and the upcoming "Kick-Ass 2." Additional upcoming Marvel films include "Thor: The Dark World," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and "Guardians of the Galaxy."

"I wasn't available," Baldwin explained. "They wanted me to work a certain time. And because of my wife's pregnancy, I had to turn down two films this summer that I wanted to do."

Baldwin and his wife Hilaria announced in February that Hilaria is pregnant with the couple's first child. Baldwin's lack of availability hasn't kept him off-screen in the short term: He co-stars in Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine," in theaters now, and will next be seen in the upcoming film "Caught Stealing."

I think they're first choice would have always been Redford for Pierce, so that exes that. I don't think playing Norman would have interfered with his wife's pregnancy since it seems the role won't be that large in the film and it began in February so they could have just shot to match his schedule.

We are looking at the golden years of MCU. Thor2, Capt2, GotG, Avengers2 and Antman will all be better than any of the earlier MCU movies (even IronMan). 2nd movies are almost always better and the new directors are perfectly suited. The stories are finally coming together, freed of the required origin story, the required set up of key characters and free from keeping the tone light. The studio is dropping big bucks on the production and drawing top name writers and actors. The boxoffice on these four films are going to reflect it. The only question is will Marvel, moving forward leap to 3 films a year (late spring, summer and late fall positions). The audiences will be lining up.

So that leaves Collector and Trask. I'd put my money on Trask.

My exact same thought process. I could definitely see them going for him on Trask at first.

Well here is a link to the Disney XD schedule for the "Fandom" thing over the next few days. The most likely times we will see anything related to Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy will be at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, 12:00 am that same night(Technically Wednesday, but the sight calls it Tuesday), 8:00 pm on Wednesday, and 11:00 pm on Wednesday. Hope for the first showing on Tuesday is given by this description:

I read an article somewhere saying that Marvel's deal with FOX allows Marvel to use characters like Beast, Wolverine, quicksilver and Scarlet Witch because they are Avengers as well as X-men. Why doesn't Marvel just cast Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in AoA?

I don't think they have rights to anyone other than Quicksilver and SW. FOX and Sony had the rights for their characters before Wolverine and Spider-Man became Avengers. And Beast is a mutant and X-Men first and foremost so FOX have the rights to him if we're not mistaken. The only reason the rights for SW and Quicksilver are with both is because while they did their stint in the Brotherhood, they're connected to the Avengers more than the X-Men and their mutant heritage. It took over 10 years after they were introduced before they even found out they were Magneto's kids.

If it was that simple then Marvel would make every character an Avenger so they can have all there rights back.

Actually you can thank 50+ years of continuous stories. The roster of former Avengers members was already massive by the time Bendis and new Avengers came along.

Yeah the roster has always been big, but the last decade it has became even more of an occurrence. Not going to name the heroes because I know what happens when they are mentioned on SHH, but some of them shouldn't be full time avengers. But it's all conjecture on my part.

My thing is why are there multiple concurrent teams? Why is it that we can't even name the current line up of Avengers. Come next month there will be 5 official Avengers books and that's not even counting the few other books that use the name. It's like people said, it's gonna cause the line to eventually implode on itself. I understand calling it an Avengers title has them thinking it'll help sells but it's almost as annoying as seeing 1 character in 5 different books.
